NVDRS Cassette Tape MP3 Player

Designed by Stefano Pertegato, Massimiliano Rampoldi, Eloisa Tolu, Francesco Schiraldi and Giovanni Mendini, the NVDRS Tape is a concept MP3 player that limits you to 45/60/90 minutes of music, or 10/15/20 songs. The device has a flip-out USB connector for transferring songs, along with a sliding button along the bottom of the tape that corresponds to Play and Stop. If you want to forward or rewind a song, you need to manually do it by rotating the spools with your finger or pencil, like you’re winding up the tape. Rotating the second hole of the tape charges the kinetic battery. An LED light indicates the power status: Green-full charge; Amber- Medium Charge; Red- will die out any moment. Between the two wheels is nestled a small display that only shows you the time elapsed for the song, nothing else! The player sits inside a protective plastic tape case, just like the tape cases from the days of yore. This case has a slot so you can use your headphones while protecting the player, too.

    [...] Per i nostalgici (ma non solo) delle vecchie musicassette arriva questo originale lettore mp3 dal design 100% made in Italy. Stefano Pertegato, Massimiliano Rampoldi, Eloisa Tolu, Francesco Schiraldi e Giovanni Mendini hanno progettato questo involucro dal sapore retrò ma dal contenuto tutto digitale, che si attiene alle regole del vecchio supporto magnetico. All’interno si posso inserire brani per una durata massima di 90 minuti e tutti i comandi sono manuali. Il dispositivo è dotato di una porta USB interna per il trasferimento dei brani e di un case in plastica, o forse sarebbe meglio dire “custodia”, che può essere utilizzato anche durante l’ascolto. Per ascoltare un brano si aziona un tasto scorrevole posto dove un tempo c’era il nastro. Se invece si vuole saltare da una traccia a quella successiva bisogna infilare il dito in uno dei due buchi e ruotarlo. Lo stesso procedimento va effettuato per ricaricare manualmente la batteria del lettore.. ma in questo caso forse è meglio aiutarsi con una matita! [Pìzzica] [...]

    I must say, that I can not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my IMHO, which indeed could be very wrong.
    p.s. You have a very good template . Where did you find it?

    Brilliant writing – your page goes straight to my bookmarks. I got some nice inspirational thoughts after reading it.

    Xbox Kinect has more distinctive technology while using controller-free Kinect, making it even more frustrating that Microsoft’s own games felt more derivative compared to the third-party Dance Central. Even worse , one of the most awe-inspiring Kinect game introduced now, Child of Eden, wasn’t playable, and it has no release date announced.
